The Email
Swap [Name] and [Your Name] before sending. Everything else is ready to go.
Subject: You need to see this (seriously, don't sleep on it) Hey [Name], I'm going to be upfront — I copied and pasted this email. It's not technically my words, but I'm sending it because I genuinely think this is something you shouldn't pass up and I'd feel bad if you missed it because I dragged my feet. There's a guy named Ivan (DIGITAL IVAN) who builds what he calls "authority revenue websites" — basically websites that are engineered to actually bring in customers, not just exist online. Most business websites are digital brochures. His are different. Here's the no-brainer part: he's running a promo right now where if you reach out and mention my name, you get a special bonus gift on top of whatever you're already getting. It costs you nothing extra — just drop my name in the intake form. And full transparency: if you take advantage of this, Ivan's going to send me $165 via Zelle or CashApp as a thank-you for the introduction. So yes, I benefit — but only if you actually get something valuable out of it. That's the deal. Check it out here: https://digitalivan.com/start-my-site If you've ever said "my website doesn't bring in leads" or "I need a new website" — this is the call. — [Your Name]
The email is transparent by design — it says it was copied and pasted. That honesty is the point. You're not pretending it's your own words. You're vouching for the offer because you believe in it.
Why It's Transparent
The email says upfront it was copied and pasted. The sender isn't pretending it's their own writing — they're vouching for the offer because they believe it's worth sharing. That's a stronger signal than a polished pitch.
Mentioning the sender's name in the intake form gets them a special bonus gift — something added on top, not a discount. It costs them nothing and gets them something extra.
The email tells the recipient that the sender gets $165 if they move forward. No hidden incentives. Full transparency. The recipient can factor that in — and most people respect the honesty.
The sender only gets paid if the recipient actually gets a website built. There's no payout for a click or a form fill. The incentive is aligned: the referral only pays out when real value is delivered.
